We describe a case of primary extracranial meningioma of the nasal cavity. FNAC showed loose clusters of epithelioid cells with splayed cytoplasm, focal whorling, and occasional psammoma bodies suggestive of meningioma. This case highlights the importance of FNAC in diagnosing meningioma when encountering similar morphology at a rare location.
